`Cosigrove and Nancy Goettel. We also have Neal Belgam from
`my office.
`
`THE COURT: All right. Thank you.
`Ms. Sharp?
`MS. SHARP: Good morning, Your Honor. Melanie
`Sharp from Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor for Amgen in the
`17-14-07-case. Also Jim Higgins from Young Conaway. With
`me are my colleagues Your Honor has met, Siegmund Gutman,
`Amir Naini, David Hanna, and Drew Diamond from Amgen.
`THE COURT: All right. Thank you.
`All right. I guess let's begin. You know, the
`declarations were largely about the intrinsic evidence and
`the briefing. As far as I'm concerned, that is already
`dealt with. You can address it real quickly if you want,
`but I thought the purpose of this hearing was to adduce
`extrinsic evidence so I can make a decision. I think I've
`already ruled that I'm unable based on the intrinsic
`evidence to construe the terms.
`MR. FLETCHER: Yes, Your Honor.
`THE COURT: All right.
`MR. FLETCHER: And I think we will go through
`the extrinsic evidence today.
`THE COURT: I mean, did you have a different
`understanding, because I mean the declaration basically just
`went through the Kao patent. I thought that we did that.

`(cid:21)(cid:27)(cid:25)
`(cid:20)
`(cid:20)
`case, while they're not revealing their launch dates, these
`and after that hearing, Your Honor ordered that the
`(cid:21)
`(cid:21)
`have timing provisions that my understanding is, I confess
`agreements had to be produced and the only thing that could
`(cid:22)
`(cid:22)
`I've not seen this document or program or spreadsheet that
`be redacted were launch dates and irrelevant information
`(cid:23)
`(cid:23)
`was produced in the litigation, but Genentech has an
`dates, but nothing that had to do with consideration.
`(cid:24)
`(cid:24)
`internal way of plugging in periods of time in the future
`They produced the documents, very heavily
`(cid:25)
`(cid:25)
`that can sort of anticipate the impact of biosimilar
`redacted, including provisions in the settlement agreement
`(cid:26)
`(cid:26)
`competition. So the idea here is that our damages expert is
`and licenses that we do believe weigh heavily on
`(cid:27)
`(cid:27)
`going to need to know this sort of information so that we're
`consideration, including acceleration clauses and provisions
`(cid:28)
`(cid:28)
`able to put together, you know, a theory, a defensive theory
`dealing with pre-market activities that are permitted under
`(cid:20)(cid:19)
`(cid:20)(cid:19)
`on reasonable royalty or whatever other damages theory they
`the agreements.
`(cid:20)(cid:20)
`(cid:20)(cid:20)
`bring out.
`Maybe the easiest way to visualize this is if
`(cid:20)(cid:21)
`(cid:20)(cid:21)
`you look at Exhibit 4 to our letter at page 4-68 --
`(cid:20)(cid:22)
`(cid:20)(cid:22)
`THE COURT: Four-dash what?
`(cid:20)(cid:23)
`(cid:20)(cid:23)
`MR. HIGGINS: 4-68 and subsequent pages.
`(cid:20)(cid:24)
`(cid:20)(cid:24)
`THE COURT: Yes.
`(cid:20)(cid:25)
`(cid:20)(cid:25)
`MR. HIGGINS: If you compare that to Exhibit 7,
`(cid:20)(cid:26)
`(cid:20)(cid:26)
`which is a more recently produced settlement agreement
`(cid:20)(cid:27)
`(cid:20)(cid:27)
`that is much more appropriately redacted, and if you look
`(cid:20)(cid:28)
`(cid:20)(cid:28)
`at page 7-60 and subsequent pages, both of these -- are you
`(cid:21)(cid:19)
`(cid:21)(cid:19)
`there?

`(cid:21)(cid:23)
`(cid:21)(cid:24)
`(cid:21)(cid:24)
`
`MR. HIGGINS: Okay. So the third parties were
`heard fully on this back in May, and as a result of that,
`Genentech implemented redactions -- well, purportedly
`pursuant to Your Honor's order, produced the licenses. We
`complained about them a month-and-a-half ago, that they were
`severely over-redacted.
`
`THE COURT: Okay. So there are two things.
`There were multiple references to third-party licenses.
`So is this the one where folks wrote letters, third parties?
`MR. HIGGINS: Yes. If I can address that very
`
`briefly.
`
`THE COURT: Yes. You need to address it. And
`then you last night said, well, guess what? We'd like to
`table this.
`
`THE COURT: Yes. I have not done the
`comparison, so hold on. Do you want me to compare them?
`MR. HIGGINS: I will talk about it, but you can
`visualize the extent of their redactions.
`These are basic --
`
`(cid:21)(cid:27)(cid:26)
`THE COURT: You mean these redactions?
`MR. HIGGINS: No. Actually maybe you're on the
`wrong page. Which exhibit are you on?
`THE COURT: You tell me.
`MR. HIGGINS: Okay. Well, I'm on Exhibit 4 at
`
`THE COURT: All right. I'm there.
`MR. HIGGINS: And then compare that to Exhibit 7
`
`page 4-68.
`
`at 7-68.

`73 of 122 sheets
`
`THE COURT: All right. Hold up. All right.
`MR. HIGGINS: And what you will see is that --
`THE COURT: Wait. This is supposed to be the
`same license?
`MR. HIGGINS: No, it's not the same license.
`THE COURT: Okay.
`MR. HIGGINS: But they're very similar. All of
`these licenses are very similar.
`THE COURT: Okay.
`MR. HIGGINS: What you will see is that Section
`2.2, for instance, in Exhibit 7 and 2.3 in Exhibit 7 appear
`to be redacted in Exhibit 4, and these are acceleration
`provisions. And as I said earlier, a provision dealing with
`permissible pre-market activities. And these would be
`things that would be heavily negotiated by the parties. And
`the reason they're relevant here is because in the damages

`(cid:21)(cid:27)(cid:28)
`We met and conferred with Genentech. They
`refused to reduce the redactions, so at that point, we were
`at an impasse with Genentech on their implementation of Your
`Honor's order, basically.
`During that meet and confer, at no point did
`Genentech suggest that we should be looping in these third
`parties. We didn't feel it necessary because this was no
`longer an issue with the third parties. They've been heard
`in May and Your Honor had ruled.
`In light of the fact that there were two
`letters submitted by I believe it was Mylan on Friday and
`Celltrion/Teva on Monday, and in light of, candidly, the
`amount of things that were on the calendar for today, I made
`a judgment, and if it was wrong, I apologize.
`THE COURT: Don't apologize.
`MR. HIGGINS: That Your Honor would be more
`bothered by a dispute about a meet and confer than about
`pushing it off for a few days or what have you, but I
`understand that's not an option, so here we are.
`THE COURT: It's not a question of bothering me.
`It's a question of, we have to address these things, and I
`don't have enough time.
`MR. HIGGINS: Right.
`THE COURT: So we've got to address this today.
`Why don't we just have these produced to outside

`(cid:20)(cid:19)
`(cid:20)(cid:19)
`MR. JOHNSON: We had a little bit more of a meet

`(cid:20)(cid:20)
`and confer with them.
`(cid:20)(cid:21)
`(cid:20)(cid:21)
`THE COURT: Right.
`(cid:20)(cid:22)
`(cid:20)(cid:22)
`MR. JOHNSON: The concern here is simply nothing
`(cid:20)(cid:23)
`(cid:20)(cid:23)
`has changed since the May hearing. It's ironic to us that
`(cid:20)(cid:24)
`(cid:20)(cid:24)
`Amgen in the trastuzumab case is not seeking further
`(cid:20)(cid:25)
`(cid:20)(cid:25)
`disclosure of the agreement, but rather only seeking it in
`(cid:20)(cid:26)
`(cid:20)(cid:26)
`the Avastin case where there's very little overlap and
`(cid:20)(cid:27)
`(cid:20)(cid:27)
`therefore very little relevance. In fact, I think the
`(cid:20)(cid:28)
`(cid:20)(cid:28)
`primary patent that overlaps it is the one that you spent
`(cid:21)(cid:19)
`(cid:21)(cid:19)
`today hearing about whether or not it's indefinite.
`(cid:21)(cid:20)
`(cid:21)(cid:20)
`We don't think there's any relevance to these,
`(cid:21)(cid:21)
`(cid:21)(cid:21)
`the trastuzumab agreement and bevacizumab. We don't think
`(cid:21)(cid:22)
`(cid:21)(cid:22)
`any other redactions -- un-redactions are necessary. We
`(cid:21)(cid:23)
`(cid:21)(cid:23)
`would be willing I think to consent to a disclosure on an
`(cid:21)(cid:24)
`(cid:21)(cid:24)
`outside counsel basis provided that for the agreement to
`
`From our perspective, this really is a
`third-party confidentiality issue. We were even deferring
`to implement what we understood the redaction guidance to be
`in view of the third-party confidentiality concerns. We
`think we got it right.
`To the extent that Amgen thinks we got it wrong,
`we just want to make sure the third parties have an
`opportunity to be heard, because it's fundamentally their
`issue. We have a contractual obligation to raise the
`issue, but the substantive is concern is the third-party
`issue.
`
`THE COURT: Right. We don't have time.
`MS. DURIE: Completely understood.
`THE COURT: Wait. Hold on. This is Avastin.
`MS. DURIE: I'm counsel in Avastin as well. I'm
`actually counsel in both cases, so I'm appearing on the
`
`(cid:21)(cid:28)(cid:20)

`
`THE COURT: Mylan. Okay.
`MR. LENNON: So Mylan hasn't really had an
`opportunity to really consider what Mr. Higgins just raised,
`the exhibits, the examples of redactions. We have not seen
`those. We weren't invited to participate in the meet and
`confer. We weren't aware of this issue.
`As soon as we became aware of this issue, we
`asked the Court if we could be heard on it, but we still
`have not had a substantive opportunity to meet and confer.
`I think Mr. Higgins acknowledges that a meet and confer
`would be appropriate at this time.
`So I guess all I can raise at this point is that
`we don't understand anything to have changed substantively
`since the May hearing, that the redacted copies were already
`produced. You know, we understood those to be worked out
`with Genentech to be sufficient.
`Mylan's agreement is with respect to matuzumab,
`not bevacizumab. Pardon me for butchering these. I'm not
`involved in the case, so it's not directly relevant to this
`case.

`(cid:20)(cid:23)
`MR. JOHNSON: I guess, Your Honor, I just would
`(cid:20)(cid:24)
`like to be heard then on why there's any relevance to the
`(cid:20)(cid:25)
`foreign documents.
`(cid:20)(cid:26)
`THE COURT: I read your letter. I mean, you
`(cid:20)(cid:27)
`know, there is -- we've already in this case addressed
`(cid:20)(cid:28)
`the issue of foreign sales being relevant, and Mr. Gaffney
`(cid:21)(cid:19)
`was heard and persuaded me that that information was
`(cid:21)(cid:20)
`relevant. So I don't want to revisit that issue. I decided
`(cid:21)(cid:21)
`it. I think it is relevant and it's going to outside
`(cid:21)(cid:22)
`counsel only.
`(cid:21)(cid:23)
`I think the issue is it should go to experts.
`(cid:21)(cid:24)
`That's an issue I don't want to hear argument about.

`have both U.S. and foreign stuff, is that the foreign dates
`and the settlement of foreign litigation can still be
`removed.
`
`THE COURT: I'm not going to do that. So with
`Pfizer I can rule because you're here, and I mean, I guess
`maybe you could -- is there some technical issue you could
`raise? No, because Genentech has it. You've got it.
`Right.
